Fresh with Dashes of Blue

 

 

Another wedding

 to capture such a special day.

 

 

 

 

Although I love alternatives to fresh flowers,

I still get excited when

 fresh flowers are used for

such a personal occasion.

 

 

 

 On this occasion,

with such a lovely couple,

the Bride's Mother had created all the floral decoration,

including the Bridesmaids' & Bride's Bouquet.

A very personal touch!

 

A Summer's Day @ Hestercombe

 

 

A glorious Summer day. .  . .

At long last, a Hestercombe visit once again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A visit along time coming.......

Busy as a Bee......

 

 

My life certainly is as busy this bee,

Busy, Busy, Busy........

 

A very hot summers day may encourage

you to take it easy,

but certainly a busy time for the bee population.

Good to see when there are general concerns for  their existence.

Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.

 

 

The early part of June,

 I travelled to Gran Canaria for a much needed break.

The warmth & sunshine was a real bonus to this holiday.

 

Although my hotel was high  on a hill,

from my balcony,

this was my view.

 

 

The tall palm trees stretched so tall close to the sandy beach.

 

 

 

The beach at Puerto Rico also led to a harbour & marina,

where many boats gathered.

 

 

 

 Even though the terrain was barren with volcanic rock,

the splashes of flora really offered some beautiful colour.

 

 

 

 

 

 My hotel was at the top of this photo,

although I walked down to the beach,

 I was truly grateful for the local taxis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This holiday really did give the chance to chill & relax.

I certainly couldn't have asked for more.

 



 

 

Montecute House, Somerset

A wonderful National Trust property situated in Somerset.

 

Montecute House was a place I visited during April.

Although I renewed my National Trust membership last October,

this was truly the first time I had been able to use it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although a cold murky day,

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

A time to relax & walk around at my leisure.
